Just a short walk away, you'll find The Lost Spring, award-winning fishing charters, and Cathedral Cove boat tours, making us the ideal base for your Coromandel adventure. Our central location also puts you within easy reach of Whitianga’s best cafés, bars, and restaurants. The place was very clean and well kept. The furniture was new. In the room, we found a kettle with plenty of tea bags, coffee, and hot chocolate to use. In the fridge, there was a small bottle of fresh milk. The bed was super comfy, and there was also a fantastic electric blanket. It is a modest place, but you will have everything you need.
